453	22 Jun 1991	Bowen Island		Jervis Bay	Australia			20	39	39	Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries		Beautiful surface conditions, though cold. Surprisingly windy. Into green water - relatively murky, about 10m. Anchor practically landed on an octopus - black & white colour scheme. Down on the seabed I was fiddling with Cathy's weight belt and put my hand down to steady myself - ZAP! - a couple of sharp jolts from a numbfish. I didn't even see it - it must have swum off quickly. Lots of fish - mado, leatherjacket, morwong, groper and a 'toby' I think - a type of toadfish. Lovely coral. Others on the trip: Steve, Sarah, Cathy and Maria.
